Build a city challenge

1. The New Willow Bay
Year 2 Fall 2 (Part 2)

2. Welcome back to the New Willow Bay. Slowly but surely, the population is rising in the neighbourhood on the daily.
Hopefully by the end of the round I can hit 500. If I use all my available CAS sims, it just might happen.
This update will focus on the Fancey, Borg, Stratton, and Diaz families. Over at the Fancey household, Gordon is a few
skill points away of completing his lifetime want.

3. I don’t know about you guys, but fall is for sure my favourite season in the EP. It just makes everything so much easier,
especially with smart milk and the thinking cap. Also, due to Freetime’s reward system, knowledge sims who have the
eureka bonus max out their skills easier.
Giovanni: Mom, do I have to know all that for school?
Melissa: Just let him ramble.

4. Gordon completes his lifetime want and is now perma-plat along with my simself, Abhijeet, and Eleanor!
He now wants to be a mad scientist.

5. As a reward for their hard work, I let the Fancey family have one more lullaby.
Melissa: How is this rewarding us?

6. The neighbourhood kids continue to all become best friends (since no one else lives around here for another hundred
kilometers).
Giovanni: I think one day I’m gonna be an astronaut.
Charlotte: Cool, I guess.

7. Giovanni: It’s nice that we get to sit down and have a family meal for once, but why don’t we have a dining room table?
Melissa: Uh… laziness?

8. Melissa continues to be adorable for a romance sim. Wish I had thought about re-rolling her aspiration to something else.
I really am burnt out from Abhijeet’s 20 lovers.

9. Giovanni: WHERE ARE THE TABLES AND CHAIRS?!?
Dude, calm down.

10. Near the end of the fall round, Melissa gave birth to a daughter that I named Ivette Fancey. Partially because I watched
the 6th season of Big Brother (US) a month ago. No idea what her personality is yet, but I hope it’s a good one.

11. And with the lack of leaves, fall has turned to winter in the Fancey household.

12. Over at the Borg household, I had to hire a nanny because both Chloe and Berjes were working.

13. The couple seems to be neck and neck in promotions seeing as they both have their career rewards unlocked. Kind of
wish they weren’t both creativity skill objects.

14. Chloe finds a way to balance being a mom with getting her skills up. That, or the fire from the last round left Prometheus
melted to her arm.

15. From the looks of it, Prometheus mostly has his father’s features. I can’t really see anything about him that screams
Chloe. My game wouldn’t let me screenshot his personality, but he is another very mean sim.

16. After giving Prometheus some smart milk, Chloe left for work and Berjes was in charge of completing all of his toddler
skills in less than two hours.
That’s talent right there.
Berjes: God I wish I could be naked again.

17. Benjamin Long has decided to make his first appearance since his death all that time ago. Now he’s trying to bring Chloe
with him.
Shoo you pesky ghost!
Chloe: He’s mad because I got the weather machine to work properly.

18. Chloe becomes the fifth sim in the neighbourhood to complete her lifetime want. Now that she is a Rock God, she wants
to own five top level businesses.
Chloe, I absolutely adore you. I apologize for making your face look like you had a bunch of ridiculous plastic surgery.

19. As the fall winds down, Prometheus grows into a child like the rest of his age group.
I will say, I like this outfit. He can keep it.

20. Now that he’s old enough to talk, it’s time to ask a few questions. Did you start the fire the night you were born?
Romy: Uh… I was a baby, so no.
Interesting.

21. Berjes: I get to be naked again!
Chloe: Babe, Andrea is looking.
Berjes: She can watch.

22. Fall turns to winter in the Borg household and just in time, too. It happened to coincide with Prometheus maxing out his
creativity skill. A mix of smart milk and the season also has him with maxed out logic and charisma.

23. Over at the Stratton house, Neil’s days are numbered. Being the oldest member of the neighbourhood, it’s a miracle for
him that he isn’t the first grave in my collection. Thanks Benjamin.
Since there’s only so much time for them to have another kid before Neil kicks the bucket, they have to get to woohooing.

24. General picspam.

25. Neil: Stop trying to steal our gnome!
Christy Inada: But I WANT IT!!!

26. Neil: Maybe if I learn physiology I can knock my wife up.

27. Hold on, I have to zoom in on that face…
Diana looks so confused haha

28. These twins remain one of my favourites in the game. Too bad their dad will be dead soon.
Charlotte: What did he say?
Diana: Ignore him.

29. At least Christy will be pregnant before Neil goes…

30. RIP Neil Stratton (ne Cameron). You did what you had to do.
Grave Count: 2

31. I felt bad for Christy. She was about to be a single mom of three.

32. So I decided to make it harder for her by adopting a kitten named Bonkers.
Christy ‘bout to get her lifetime want fulfilled.

33. The downstairs becomes a bit more cat friendly for the rest of the game.

34. More slice of life spam.
Christy: Do I bore you? Should I start a fire?
Please no.

35. As fall turned to winter, the latest Stratton was born. This is Erinn Stratton, the final daughter of Christy and Neil (RIP).

36. Over at the Diaz household, things are going smoothly for the family. They manage to avoid drama by being a pretty
insular bunch.

37. Nina reaches the top of the dance career. She has now unlocked it for everyone… and gotten pregnant again.

38. Salazar: Why does the ballet bar feel so hot?
I wish this fire counted. I really do.

39. It’s time for a couple birthdays!

40. Salazar rolls romance/popularity and wants to be a visionary. I can work with that.
Benito becomes a toddler… and now you can see why I settled on Sal’s face in CAS.

41. Raising a toddler is a family effort.

42. To help fulfill his lifetime want, Salazar opens up a gallery called SalazART!

43. For the record, this was just my way of using custom wallpapers.

44. I settle the gallery at level 6 so Salazar can have a position in art open for himself after college.

45. At home, Nina uses her perma-plat status to smart milk the shit out of Benito.

46. She also gives birth to the family’s first daughter, Salome Diaz. She’s also the first kid with Nina’s hair colour.

47. For some reason, Leo feared having another kid. Despite being a family sim.
Sim Shrink: Zis is stupid. What iz wrong with you?
He isn’t even halfway through the adult stage yet.

48. Salazar rolls the want to have his first kiss.
Meadow denies him.

49. On the final day of fall, Benito is the first of the kids to grow up.

50. He is then followed by little sister, Salome. These are going to be some ugly kids.

51. After getting Benito’s makeover in, Leo rolled the want for another baby. He is possibly the most confusing family I’m I’ve
ever played in the past 15+ years.

52. Once winter hit, it was time to say goodbye to the Diaz family. Next up will be the GilsCarbo and Cameron households to
finish the round, plus the introduction of a new CAS household.
